What is changing with Speedpass Keytag?
We are excited to begin introducing Tap to Pay technology at the pumps at Esso™ and Mobil™ sites across Canada. Customers will start to notice Tap to Pay availability at the pumps at select sites, with availability increasing over the coming year.
Tap to Pay is replacing Speedpass Keytag at the pumps. At converted sites, Speedpass Keytag customers can continue to pay with their key tag in the store. Alternatively, customers (excluding Fleet customers) can use the Speedpass+ App for a contactless payment option that allows them to combine their preferred payment method with their fuel discount card and loyalty card.
Why have you introduced Tap to Pay at the pumps?
We have offered Tap to Pay inside the store for several years and recognize it is a popular payment method. With increasing demand for contactless payments and increased tap purchase limits earlier in 2020, we are looking forward to offering customers their preferred payment method at the pump.
How do I use Tap to Pay at the pump?
Simply take your tap-enabled payment card and hold near the pump until the dispenser confirms the payment was registered. If you are using a fuel discount card or a loyalty card, please insert it before tapping your payment card.
How do I collect loyalty points with Tap to Pay at the pump?
Please make sure you enter your loyalty card or the phone number associated with your loyalty account before tapping your payment card.
I also have a loyalty card and/or a Price Privilege™ card. Are those cards capable of tapping at the pump?
Unfortunately we are not able to offer tap-enabled Esso Extra™, PC Optimum™, or Price Privilege cards. If you would prefer a contactless transaction with payment and loyalty, you can use a President’s Choice Financial® Mastercard® which combines your purchase method and loyalty in one, or you can load your cards onto the Speedpass+ App which combines your payment method, discount card and loyalty card in one for a contactless payment method.
What card types do you accept with Tap to Pay?
We accept the same cards that are accepted with the magnetic stripe or chip and pin, as per the on-site payment decals. We also accept standard digital wallets such as Google Pay™ and Apple Pay™.
How do I know which sites offer Tap at the pump?
Please visit our Station Locator at https://www.esso.ca/en-ca/find-station or in the Speedpass+ App, and search for “Tap at pump”.
Why is the Speedpass Keytag reader removed at the pump?
Unfortunately we are not able to offer both Speedpass Keytag and Tap to Pay at the same pump. As we introduce Tap to Pay at the pump, the Speedpass Keytag reader will be removed at the pump. If offered previously, the Speedpass Keytag mat will still be available in-store for the present time.

Eventually, Speedpass Keytag will be removed as a payment option from the pumps as we introduce Tap to Pay at the pump. If offered previously, the Speedpass Keytag mat will still be available in-store for the present time.
When will I know when a site is introducing Tap to Pay? Can you notify me in advance or provide the scheduled conversion dates?
Unfortunately we are not able to provide advance notice of site upgrades. At this time upgrades are being done on a site by site basis. If a significant number of upgrades are being done in an area at a time, we may contact Speedpass™ Keytag users in the area to notify them of the change. Please make sure your e-mail address is correct on file in order to receive accurate updates as they become available.
